Sorry, leathermang, I'll have to argue on this one. Every source I've seen says to have the threads clean and DRY - no lubrication of any type put on the threads. If any lube is added (oil, anti-seize, etc) the torque value MUST be reduced. The exception is torque specs that specifically state lubricated threads, such as Mercedes head bolts. :p


Regards,
